I started out in the nissan world with my old turbo 240 and the Skyline is the holy grail of cars for me... Id love to finally own a GT-R, but the price tag...

. It was my 1st time up there and DAMN!!! The mtns. in GA dont have anything on that road!!! I need some better tires to do that run faster.

Id like to get more than 3 of us together (when schedules allow) and make a day of it. With the weather we may have to wait til next year.

yeah., hopefully by that time my car will be good to go so i can come play., but when u chasing another car....man thats when the real FUN starts!!!! kinda like the togue battles in japan., wish we could close that road for ourselves too=)!

Its great! Really grabby. Still getting used to shifting quick when driving aggressively. Its still a little jerky, but off the line its great. Just another 200 miles and i can launch!

Also with the kinked LICP and other boost leak fixed the car pulls like crazy! I honestly don't ever remember it pulling that hard.
